  • PLEASE do not nominate another candidate with a vagina

    It's so frustrating when well-meaning people have this blatantly sexist take.

    The problem with Hillary and Kamala was not their vaginas, it was their policies.

    If you actually believe that the US is too sexist to elect a woman, then you need to explain the election of Claudia Sheinbaum in Mexico. By every statistic (rape, domestic violence, etc), Mexico is a more sexist nation than the US, yet they overwhelmingly elected a woman.

  • True, but your comment seems to ignore the fact that leftism is the only resistance to fascism. Liberalism and civility politics have historically paved the way for fascism, and the same pattern is proving true in the modern era.

    We need leftist solidarity to defeat the evils of liberalism and fascism.

  • So your idea is that we will vote in Democrat politicians who will... Legislate themselves out of power by instituting ranked choice voting?

    This part of your plan seems absurd on its face. I want ranked choice voting as much as you, but we need a realistic plan, and what you're proposing is a pipe dream.

    Voting third party is more realistic than expecting Dems to institute ranked choice.

  • This is an open problem for advocates of the Dark Enlightenment theory (Wikipedia) like Peter Thiel and Curtis Yarvin.

    One of the most commonly discussed solutions is to surgically implant explosive devices into the bodies of your lead security force.

  • And history shows us what happens after the US Navy gets kicked in the nuts. The US kills hundreds of thousands of people. Sometimes millions.

  • America launches its 250th birthday year by becoming a rogue state | Trump's illegal war on Venezuela cemented his claim to dictatorship and marked the U.S. as a global pariah.

  • support the DNC vocally

    Why should we support the DNC when the leadership of the DNC is supporting Trump's war crimes?

    Read the responses from Jeffries and Schumer- they aren't the opposition party, they are manufacturing consent for this 'military operation'.

    If we actually want to change the situation we need to fix the DNC, not blindly support it.

  • Secessio is a great start to a proud history of workers fighting for their rights, but history tends to clean up the details.

  • Pope Leo calls for Venezuela to remain an independent country

    Jump

  • If you're really into Catholic lore and mythology, then yes, the Pope's word holds a lot of weight. They believe in papal infallibility, which means that when the Pope meets certain very specific criteria, he is literally speaking for God and is thus perfect and unquestionable.

    Regular normie Catholics? They believe in the Pope the same way they believe in the Bible: it is the true word of God, but it's too much of a bother to actually read it. They're never reading papal edicts, they're just reading news headlines about the pope like everyone else.

  • Anyone in the U.S. also feeling extra suicidal after hearing the news today?

    Jump

  • Suicidal thoughts in response to this news is really concerning. From what I understand, you aren't being personally affected by this news. Go take care of yourself. Touch grass or do whatever you need to do.

    I think it will help to have a broader perspective. The US spends over $1 trillion each year on violence. When the bombs stop, then profits drop, and this is not acceptable to the capitalist class. When we stopped spending $60bln in Afghanistan, we instantly started spending $60bln in Ukraine. Now Ukraine is winding down, we will spend it on Venezuela. After that, Panama? Greenland? Cuba? Mexico? This cycle will continue until the military industrial complex is dismantled. That is unlikely to happen in our lifetimes.

    You are on the ethically correct side, and that matters. I find inspiration in the many generations of people who fought against slavery in the US. So many people, so many generations fought to end slavery, and most did not live to see the successful end. We must continue to fight, even if we do not see success in our lifetimes, we lay the groundwork for future generation's success. We owe it to them.

    And if you do choose to end yourself, I respect your bodily autonomy, but please make sure you are of sound mind when you make that very serious decision. And consider following in the holy footsteps of Saint Luigi of Baltimore.

  • Why would they sell? US bonds are welfare for rich people; it's a guaranteed solid ROI that underwrites their riskier investments.

    I think it would take a crash of the global financial system to fundamentally change the logic of the bond market. We haven't seen a crash that devastating since WWII.

  • You're really begging for downvotes with this comment, but I'm curious: how do you see this situation playing out? Do you think a couple steps ahead, or just react?

    My guess is that is going to go like this:

    1. Trump admin tries to install Machado as US puppet government in Venezuela.
    2. Mass popular uprising from the Venezuelan people, significant violence, attempts at deposing or assassinating Machado.
    3. US boots on the ground to prop up Machado regime. -or-
    4. US abandons Venezuela project, leaving devastation and chaos behind.
    5. Inevitable blowback, Americans killed.

    Do you have a less biased or more credible source for this fact check?

    The Grayzone is worthy of valid criticism, but MBFC does not provide valid criticism, it is rightwing propaganda.

  • ‘I don’t think we should have billionaires’: mayor Zohran Mamdani in his own words

    Jump

  • Because in US politics, we generally have three types of politicians: MAGA, corporate Republicans, and corporate Democrats.

    Mamdani represents a possible fourth way, a way that (hopefully) values workers over capital.

    When he says "billionaires shouldn't exist" he is re-affirming his commitment to this fourth way, and that is a important positive sign.
